2026 Membership

Dear Valued Lake Quassapaug Outing Club Members,

I am thrilled to be part of the Lake Quassapaug Outing Club for the 2026 season. With over 10 years of experience in recreational facility management and a deep appreciation for the outdoors, I am honored to continue with this cherished community.

I have 10 years of lifeguarding experience and 10+ years in recreational facility management. My credentials include certifications as a Lifeguard, Lifeguard Instructor, Lifeguarding Instructor Trainer, Water Safety Instructor Trainer, and BSA Aquatics Instructor. Prior to my current role as Aquatic Supervisor at the Naugatuck YMCA, I served as Aquatic Director for the Boy Scouts of America.

My vision will be to preserve its rich traditions while enhancing the member experience through thoughtful improvements and engaging activities. I believe in creating an environment where families can create lasting memories, children can safely explore and play, and adults can find respite from their busy lives.

I look forward to meeting each of you and hearing your ideas for making our club even better. Together, we'll ensure that Lake Quassapaug continues to be a special place for generations to come.

Feel free to reach out with any questions—here's to a safe and fun summer at the lake!
